Cluely is a desktop AI meeting assistant. It listens to calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack, takes notes, and shows real-time answers in an on-screen window without joining the meeting as a bot. The Starter plan is free; Pro costs $19.99 a month.

The bottom line

A real-time AI call copilot for sales reps and interview prep — useful, but ethically polarising.

What it really isCluely — real-time AI coaching overlay for live video calls and meetings.

Our takeCluely is a desktop AI assistant for live calls.

It listens to the conversation, takes notes and shows answers and talking points in a window that other participants don't see. It launched with the slogan "cheat on everything" and now markets itself as a meeting assistant; its enterprise plan syncs meeting notes to CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot, according to Cluely's documentation.

Why we rate itSetup takes minutes, it works across the main meeting apps without a bot joining the call, and the enterprise plan syncs notes to CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot.

The catchThe $149.99/mo 'Undetectability' tier explicitly sells deception tooling, which raises serious ethical concerns and may violate employer or platform terms of service.

Best / not good for

Best for

Sales reps wanting live deal coaching and objection handling
Job seekers preparing for high-stakes interviews
Teams needing automated post-call CRM logging to Salesforce or HubSpot

Not good for

Organisations with strict AI-transparency or honesty policies
Non-video-call knowledge work (no async or document workflows)
Budget-conscious teams who need deep call analytics — cost jumps steeply

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Fast: install desktop app, sign in, join a call — overlay is live in minutes.
Scale breakpoint
Per-plan pricing suits individuals; enterprise rollout needs custom SSO contract and per-seat negotiation.
Walled garden
Moderate: meeting transcripts and CRM sync create data gravity; no public API for transcript export.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
